Ram mirrors?
Ok, I know this has already been discussed alot, but I have one question about it. With the dodge tow mirrors on an obs, will bar for the wing window be in the way of the mirror when it's folded down? I'm 6'3" so the seat will always be all the way back. I'm wondering from you who have done it because I don't know anybody who has and I've seen pics that show the bar going right through the middle of the mirror when it's down. Obviously the pics could be lying to me, or maybe not.

the 99 and newer superduty mirrors are a better fit.

The GM Duramax ones are an even better fit, there is a thread on that in the IDI forum.

​​​​​​​Alright, thanks for the replies guys. I'll have to look into em. On the super duty mirrors I thought you completely lost the wing window, is that true? I wanna keep my wing windows if at all possible. Ford six, do you have the link to that thread? Thanks again guys!👍

you will loose the wing window no matter what new mirror you use.

​​​​​​​Not really. I know for sure that I can mount the dodge or GM mirrors and keep the wing window 100% operational.

The window is still functional mostly, you just can't flip it around to catch the air.

So are there any issues with the bar for the wing window going right through the middle of the mirror when it's in all the way with the GM mirrors?

Go message that guy who has them installed and see. From the pictures looks like there wouldn't be interference but he doesn't seem to have any posted from sitting in the drivers seat
